Fun Carrot Fact: Don't give your bunny too many carrots. They are high in sugar and bunnies have a hard time breaking down sugar. The reason this idea became popular was because of Bugs Bunny. 😊

I guarantee that eating a golden carrot with a nether wart can improve your night vision significantly
Don't forget to add a redstone dust

And if you add some red dust to it, it works even better
u are not wrong
@Beast 😈 you dont have any content
When I was a kid, I was told two things:
1) Carrots are good for your eyesight.
2) Dogs are colorblind.
Naturally, I felt bad that my dog couldn’t see color, so I decided to fix that. I would mix chopped carrot into his kibble and then “test” him on his colors in an attempt to cure his colorblindness. It obviously didn’t work, but I was really dedicated to it for about a month.
aww thats sweet!
That's a really good experiment.
Awww ❤
that's so sweet!
The second one is somewhat true. Dogs have something called dichromatic vision, so they can only recognize yellow and blue.
Funnily enough, as a person with a genetic form of night blindness, I was told frequently to eat more carrots. Except carrots don't reverse genetically damaged retinas. XD
Is it really damaged if it was always like that?
@@GeorgeDCowley to answer an old question (I guess 7 months is old with question) :
Yes!
A birth defect is still classified as damaged when it comes to the eyes, usually.
If you have had to wear glasses your entire life, it's usually because of a building fault in your eye(s) and your eye(s) are still considering damaged in common speak.
There are of course people who would rather you said "birth defect", but as far as I am aware, both are considered proper ways of addressing issues with the eyes
I think that is pretty funny. Imagine telling a friend about having night blindness:
"Eat this food, it's good for your eyesight"
"I didn't know that could fix genetic glitches"
"Wha-"
night blindness.. sssssounds like its just dark
i have brain damage that makes my eyesight better in the dark, but worse in the day. I trades good day vision for good night vision, im pretty sure its cuz my optic nerve is damaged and works better with low light@@JDM-is-my-name
This is actually very interesting. As a Taiwanese and Japanese kid, I was NEVER told carrots help my eyesight, but my family always told me FISH helped my eyesight. It's interesting how cultures change due to stuff in history like this.
As a Chinese kid, yeah! It’s always fish! It’s good for your eyes but more commonly in my family good for your brain .
@@nanhty8321 yeah lol
As Indonesian kid, I can also confirm that, carrot too at some occasion, but more leaning to fish.
the one fish I can remember is anchovies that is good for brain/memories, at least that what my parent always told me.
@@kirikachan3764 I’m Indonesia too
As an Indian, I've interestingly been told both to eat fish and carrots for my eyesight!
Food theory idea: is it possible to live solely on free samples?
Let’s say each grocery store contains 2 points of free samples (in a real life experiment I noted 4 but it was only one store so insufficient data). These free samples are usually things like ice cream, pretzels, or different forms of drinks from what I’ve seen. The things by themselves aren’t enough to fulfill your dietary needs. But this is all based off of sole personal observation, so I’d be interested to see the data

That's actually rather interesting, I would like to see a food theory about it
Good idea
I reported the +18 bots,they are annoying
no? of course not. even if you didn't have to worry about paying for gas, upkeep on your car, having an actual job, and having an actual place to sleep, this still wouldn't work. People giving out free samples don't generally allow you to just take more than 1 for a reason: they're samples. Having worked at a couple grocery stores, I can very much confirm this is the case. Even if you had the most density of sams clubs in your area and it was sample day(it's not always sample day, right?), you'd spend your whole day driving around between stores.
This is a dumb food theory that makes no sense, and I honestly hope he doesn't see this comment.
My favorite Food Theory yet
Underrated comment u have my like
I bet you will say that in the next video.
Very interesting how culture ...
When I was younger I ate carrots whenever I could just because I enjoyed them. One day we stopped buying carrots and I never knew why. I asked my mom last year why we stopped buying carrots for a while, and she said that I was turning noticeably orange and it worried everyone.
If you eat too many carrots you turn a yellow-ish/orange color! If they just ration out the carrots it'd be fine honestly. Good thing they stopped for a bit because once you turn orange you're actually pretty close to dying of eating just way too much carrots.

the fact that carrot is bad for bunnies make this even better
it's kinda cool to learn which country was growing its own "blitzkrieg vegetables": the uk had carrots, turnips and radishes (which can be grown easily even on your windowsill inside), germany had its sauerkraut, beetroot and brussels sprouts and the usa had its sweet corn and potatoes. I don't know about holland, though... I suppose they just ate their tulips...^^
Well yes actually, during the winter of 1944 the Dutch did eat tulip bulbs
Russia was growing wheat so they had bread that they mixed with sawdust(for more volume) and thats pretty much it. Im pretty sure Russia had the hardest time during WW2 so they didnt really have options
I'm just imagining Dutch people going to tulip fields, drop in 4 legs, and start eating the flowers like goats.
The Netherlands*
I went to a tour of a huge cave system they used during wartime in The Netherlands. They were growing chicory and brown mushrooms underground there while they had to hide a bunch of people from the Germans.
Bruh was I the only kid who loved veggies cause they were good💀
Same
No, I liked them too
Same but some are just disgusting at best like bittergod
That's good tho lol. Unfortunately I was an extremely picky kid and I refused to eat anything except crackers, poptarts and pizza lmao rip (and any kind of bread ig lol)
I liked veggies better than meat when I was a kid. Some of my favorite dishes are veggies, like spinach. I like meat a lot more now but I also eat a lot of vegetables. Balance is good. It also does help that my mom is a really good cook ❤️
Theory question: What foods or drinks ACTUALLY help with seasonal allergies? I hear conflicting stuff about honey and caffeine. It's cedar season here in Texas SO THIS THEORY MIGHT SAVE MY LIFE
If it's that important, it might be something you'd want to check with medical professionals about (like your doctor,) rather than a UA-cam channel.
@@rodjacksonx waaaaay ahead of you. But we're all having fun here
Zinc supplements actually! Whenever my allergies get incredibly terrible (like unable to function bc my nose and eyes leak and I feel like garbage) I take some zicam or pure zinc gluconate. The little boost does help me feel better

Time to figure out how to add those into my daily veggie meals just so i can have awesome night sight for no reason
Fun fact: when the RAF started using Radar in WW2, they started doing night raids in Germany. This was at the time when radar was still very new. To answer how the pilots saw so well in the dark they answered that they "ate lots of carrots".
as a carrot eater i can 100% confirm i have had ultraviolet and x ray vision the past 4 years
Woah
a cousin of mine has dna-related night-blindness. he literally cannot see when it gets dark. it's impacted his life so much that he learned braille as a kid. poor guy can't really go out after dark without someone to lead him around tho. sucks :(
As in so bad that a common flashlight is useless to him? Dang that's pretty harsh, does he also have the color blindness that also tends to follow total night blindness?
@@FastForwardPlans yep. Using lights outside doesn’t.t do much for him. He can see the light but not anything around it. I don’t believe he is colorblind but I’ve never asked
Very interesting.
I like that this channel unlike the others aren’t really “theories” they are just science and proven facts makes me realize how many random science things I know about food 😂
most science food "facts" are just the best theories we could develop
food science is rarely an exact science
I guess the theory in the channel's name is the popular meaning but scientific theory is a totally different meaning. these are proven facts as far as we know, not speculations or conspiracies
There's more to this channel than this kind of video though, there are actual theories that are similar to other channels' norms
Learn the definition of a scientific theory before you talk
Theory suggestion: "The most optimal time to microwave popcorn to get the most popped kernels without burning it"

During anatomy class, one of the first things we learned was that Vitamin A did not help you see better but was essential to seeing. I actually didn't know the cornea one, but vitamin A is a necessary component in unbleaching your rods and cones. Essentially, when light hits your rods and cones in your eyes, they react and "bleach," causing a chemical reaction that sends an electrical impulse. But once bleached, it takes a very long time to unbleach by itself, which is where Vitamin A comes in.
Wowww ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html……
So technically it does help you see...
@@RGC_animation Just not in the way that was being spread in propaganda.
@@RGC_animation , it maintains healthy vision, but doesn't improve it.
@@RGC_animation not really. It maintains your vision, it doesn't improve it. It doesn't "help" you see, it helps you from not seeing.
That’s actually extremely interesting how this came around. It’s always cool to see how bits and pieces of modern culture date back in history. But that fact that carrots were a whole strategical thing is really cool

When I first got my glasses, my parents (mostly my dad) made me eat one carrrot every day, because him and my mom believed that my vision would improve from that. Eventually they forgot (or stopped caring) so now that policy is gone, but it was definitly something.
As a person who is allergic to carrots, no they don’t. At least for me.

Fun Fact: One of the few foods that weren’t rationed in the uk was the traditional British take away, fish and chips. It was made this way to keep up morale in those extremely tough times.
Recently I’ve found myself watching all of these Food Theory videos. I was never that much of a fan of Film or Game thory. Keep making videos, man! I love this channel!
I just recently learned that this is a myth. Let me explain how:
So basically I used to eat carrots like a rodent, just constantly snacking on them. And way back in the day my eyesight was pretty bad. But it seemed that as I ate more and more carrots my eyes improved over time. I even stopped needing glasses which was nice since I thought they made me look nerdy (which I'm proud of now). But when I told someone about how after eating so many carrots my eyes improved they said about how it's a myth that the beta-carotene improves your actual eyesight. Of course still thinking the carrots improved my eyes I was hellbent on proving them wrong, come to find out they were right. The only thing beta-carotene improves is your eyes' ability to adjust to light. So, they made me see a bit better in the dark. This is actually true as well since I used to not see anything in the dark but now I can make out shapes and even an environment. So anyway it was some strange (probably age-related) coincidence that my eyesight improved while I was munching on a ton of carrots.
When I was little, shortly after I got glasses, I heard that carrots were suppose to help your eyes. I proceeded to eat so many carrots over the next week that I started turning orange.
It didn't help. My eyes are shite.
same, lmao
As I thought
Lol, I used to love pickled beats so much when I was little that I freaked my parents out cause I peed red.
@@PittCougar man peed out beat juice
Did you try a golden carrot? Those are much better AND faster
I'm glad you're teaching more people about the British airforce making up the carrots thing. I've told so many people and having more people know from this video makes me so happy.
Now THIS is something I can relate to Matt!
I always liked carrots, but as a kid, when my eyes were going bad, I resorted to eating carrots constantly.
It was so bad that my parents stepped in when the tips of my fingers turned orange.
Oops 😅
I remember my great grandmother telling me to eat carrots because they help my eyesight. I asked her how she knew and she asked me "have you ever seen a rabbit wearing glasses?". I was probably about 4 y/o so made sense to me. Lol
Can we all just apprectiate the amazing editing that goes into these videos? Like seriously its amazing!
First comment reply that’s not a bot 🙄
Now thassa lotta bots…
Lmao you got the jackpot for bots
The ratio of people to bots in this is amazing
MatPat. This is your best food theory yet. It could just be that im sleepy asf, but u solving food myths that everyone has been told is just enjoyable and honestly leaves me with one less hole in my life.
The only problem with this channel is there isn’t one new video a day! My favorite channel of yours, and I love them all! Great videos, keep them coming!
You know, as a history nerd, it always warms my heart when I stumble upon a random UA-cam video that talks about an obscure bit of history that I have, as of yet, to find anyone else who knows about it
2:57 "They could identify British cities for bombing based on all the lamps that would get lit up at night"
Except when that backfired.
Interesting fact, in 1941 Dublin in (neutral) Ireland was bombed, likely because it was mistaken for Belfast for that reason.
That's an amazing display of how bad the ability of telling where you were was at that time. Dublin and Belfast are ~160 km (100 miles) away from each other. To mistake one for the other is something that'd be unimaginable today.
If carrots help you see better then rabbits must be able to see through walls by now.
Hi
Fair
Also a myth: Rabbits don’t naturally eat root vegetables. (Carrots)
lol
Please do not give carrots or really any root veggies to buns. They get sick real quick. Give them kale, spinach, or collard, and a bunch of hay.
I was just quoting this theory to a friend today so thank you so much! This is a very well made theory thanks to you and your team and my siblings all really enjoyed it!
You should do a theory about how to avoid cereal from getting soggy. I’ve found if you pour the milk in first it makes it easier to keep you cereal crunchy but I wonder how much milk amount and type of cereal effects things too.
But soggy cereal is better, that's why I always pour the milk after
If you want the cereal to stay crunchy, just put in less milk.
I'm learning historical facts that even the books aren't talking about. Thanks once again, MatPat

I have been waiting for this video since the start of this channel. And it has come.
I honestly have to say, I enjoy this channel more than game theory and film theory. I'd never really thought about it, but food makes up a big part of every day of my life, and all of this information is really fascinating. And more relevant, too --- a lot of game/film theory episodes cover topics I'm not familiar with, but pretty much everything on this channel covers something I can relate to.

I remember that i ate a lot of carrots and heard that having too much carotene could make your skin orange if you ate an absurdly impossible amount of carrots
Well, no but you will die from overdose
And that kids is why you don't eat a Polar Bear or a Sea Lion's Liver
@@X-SPONGED That's quitter talk! It doesn't count as eating the whole polar bear if you just leave the liver lyin around
When I was 3 I loved carrots so much that actually happened.
It actually does! Sort of..It turns your skin a yellowish color. If you just eat a bunch a carrots for a couple weeks (like 10 carrots a day roughly/a bowl of them) it'll cause it, remember hearing about a guy who drank carrot smoothies a LOT and it ended up changing his skin color then killing him later as he didn't stop.
It's called carotenemia and you have to eat like 10 carrots a day for weeks for it to happen. It's more likely to happen in a baby that eats a lot of carrot baby food.
I always thought it had more to do with what was inside the carrot itself, and after getting glasses in 3rd grade I decided that carrots might help with sight but not very well. Now with two different glasses prescriptions(Think of it as one eye is nearsighted and one eye is farsighted), I realize that carrots really weren't doing much at all besides keeping me healthy.
I already knew all this but watched it for fun anyways. Fun video thanks.
In 4th grade, i did a science fair project to find out if carrots help your vision. I ate so many carrots i got sick. But through the scientific method, it did come up as helping with vision. i got 11th place in the science fair (top 10 moved on to the next round). I was so sick of carrots i stopped eating them for a while. years later and i now need glasses. coincidence? i think not.
Edit:
why are the '18+' bots commenting on the comment about a story from 4th grade?? they really try and get them young eh?

Carrots can maintain healthy vision. They cannot improve it. Good to eat, but not miracle food.
I've asked seven different doctors this question in the past few years all of them gave me similar answers indeed it does have vitamins that can help your eyes be healthy but no it is not going to make your eyes better than they already are

that was intriguing
I actually knew this! My brother had a book busting myths and carrots helping your eyes were one.

Thank you for doing this episode I thought you had forgotten about it so I commented it in another video
6:51 using the carrot sword from OSRS, that’s more of a meme than anything? I see you there, editors! Great job! ;)
My history teacher last year actually talked about the origin or the carrots make you see thing! About the only thing I remember from that class though…
6:51 This was the part I knew (assuming you are going to bring up RADAR). I was resisting the urge to type 'You're wrong MatPat! RADAR is the real reason for carrot craze!'.
All the rest of that is pretty neat too and I didn't know.
I just discovered you're actually giving us whole lessons. Why doesn't my teachers I've classes that are as interesting as this.
Because MatPat is a performer who's paid based on how well he entertains you, and practices and prepares for that purpose. Your teachers are educators who are paid based on how well you score on tests. MatPat being educational and teachers being entertaining are both just extras that result from having talented and skilled individuals.
This is the kind of food theory I subscribed for.
Hey mat pat! Once again you’ve made another great video. I learn a lot from your videos and they bring me alot of happiness!
Man you got 1 minute into the video
your pfp...............

A bot stole your comment
I gotta love how theres just a stock image that is used so much in game/film/food theory editing that its judt become this, honorary member
Love to have a new factoid to share with my history obsessed grandpa and doctor grandma today. I wonder if either of them will know something about this.
I was actually just thinking about this and wondering if there was going to be a Food Theory on it. I really like this video thank you theorist team. :)

MiniMatPat filling his plate with carrots trying to fix his eyes is honestly the most on-brand thing for him
I like how the farther this video went on and on it just became a british history lesson more and more
7:33 wrong flag
This is honestly my favorite Food Theory yet. Little food myths/old wives' tales like that are fascinating to see!
I don't think you'll see this but, Fun fact: my eye doctor said on a scale from 1 to 10 on helping your vision, Carrots: 1, but actually Spinach: 10, if you find anything refuting this claim that says carrots are infact better than spinach- lemme know- otherwise imma go back to eating spinach out of the container as a mindlessly eaten snack.
In that case, Popeye must have x-ray vision.
Vitamin A is the primary vitamin that effects vision, and carrots have about twice as much vitamin A as spinach does. That being said, while a deficiency of the vitamin is bad for your vision, an excess of it, doesn't help you at all.
Hey mat you should do a video on which is better for making grilled cheese sandwiches butter or Mayo
Ah, Ponderosa! I miss Ponderosa. We had 2 in our town. One closed and the other stayed open for a long time, but it's gone now. It was the go-to family dinner restaurant.
Oh I know this already. The short answer is no, and that myth originally came from the British Military during WW2, to encourage people to finish their food as to not waste rations. Especially for the pilots, where they were told it would help their eyesight while flying the planes
I've heard it was to trick the Germans so they wouldn't learn about the new bombsight
Radar was new at one time and this was a way to explain the improvement in accuracy.
@@lord_moist I thought it was about the improved british radar
The carrots help your eyes campaign was just a lie to cover up the fact that the British had discovered a way to locate German aircraft when using radar tech. If British soldiers were captured they would tell the Germans that the British ate carrots to see better. The lie kind of just carried on to the 21st century. So yes it was to get people to eat more abundant carrots and less produce but it was mainly to hide the fact that the British had discovered how to use radar tech.
Even though carrots were used as a strategic campaign, so that germans wouldn't know that the british had a new radar tech, what Matpat says here is that they actually can help you with issues such as night blindness, because they're pro vitamin A, and a deficiency of vitamin a might cause your cornea to dry out, not allowing to see very well. So they do help with your eyesight, but other foods such as fish, egg or even liver give you vitamin A straight away rather than just stimulating your body's production of it, so they are better for your eyesight trouble. So, it's not like carrots don't help at all, they do, just that not as much as other foods.
This is a great video! I have been getting worse night vision! Time to eat those carrot chunks
YOU FINALLY MADE THIS VIDEO, IVE BEEN WAITING YEARS
I already knew the answer but I wanted to watch MatPat lose his mind over this😂
I've been waiting for this episode, FINALLLY

Just want to say this I love the Cactus Juice reference in the intro I watched it at .25 speed 3 times to catch a bunch of the little things in the intro.
One of my favorite episodes for sure
I can finally tell my parents that screens won’t make me go blind. Thank you Matpat.

Theory Idea (kind of a shower thought this one):
With all the different supplements you can get now, is it possible to live off of pills and water alone?
Wowww ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
That is an interesting thought, given that you could probably cobble together all the necessary nutrients. However, I'm fairly certain pills would not actually satisfy your body, and you'd starve to death.
Pills give you nutrients, but not energy.
Like others before me said: pills give nutrients, but not energy. There's several issues with attempting something like this, a big one of them being that human body has evolved to draw nutrition and energy from foods and drinks as it passes through the digestive system; with the help of several different processes that need various amounts of time and specific conditions to happen correctly. The friendly bacteria living in your digestive system would starve without things they could break down, which slowly damages and collapses the rest of the system too.
@@plushiesaurp2068 Hang on, we can work with this, granted it won't be actual pills. What about food bars instead?
You could technically make a ''one shoe fits all''
We could make differing varieties depending on personal needs, religion, allergies... the works. this would provide the body with different substances that it needs to thrive, while also providing the needed vitamins, minerals and nutrients. then you'd just need water and that food bar.
This, would be a pretty bleak future for the culinary experience however. That wasn't the point of this thought experiment, I don't think.
I wasn't ready for the carrot meme at the end. 🤣I'm glad it wasn't a total lie and the history behind it was really interesting!
I loved this episode so much
I remember I heard that this was a rumor made by British or American pilots to confuse the enemies during World War II. What really helped with sonar.
Yes! I can not wait for the Dad jokes about carrots.
7:45 ...Only one meter? This can't be right
Ye
Matpat, quick question. I noticed it sounds like a xylophone in the background of this episode. Im at 8:55 right now, but is that because music supposedly helps you retain information better, because if so you should do a video about that widespread saying too.
I feel like carrots would of been very successful and would be a blind persons favorite food
yep
As a blind person, I can attest that carrots are not my favorite. I can really only stomach them with ranch. XD
Meat is Better for Vitamin A
Carrots are just a Substitute for Meat for overcoming Short-Term and Long-Term Food Shortages because they have Reproductive Seeds unlike meat (A tip for Long-Term ones)
Pro Tip:
During Wars, I suggest eating the Remaining Meat Products for better access to Vitamin A, rather instantly eating carrots. But at that time, Try Growing Carrots too. You see, Carrots take 70-80 Days to Grow which is around 2 Months with 1-2 Weeks and which you should make sure that you have to eat little amounts of meat to last at an average of 75 Days. Now if your carrots are ready, eat it. And redo the cycle until the war ends
Sure, also, the va ccine work.
We all gonna die
Just my opinion... this was probably my FAVOURITE food theory episode yet. This was so interesting and toyally new information to me!! 🥕💕
You guys should do a video on all of the fast food mobile apps. Many of the fast food restaurants have apps that you can order through and get rewards through. But which one gives you the most bang for your buck? Which fast food apps points have the highest conversion rate?
I like how this was just a history dump very neat love food theory
This was a great episode, loved it! Lots of great anecdotes and really well structured with half history and half science. Great work you guys, have a good one :)
Wowww ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…….
A couple questions. Could you bring back the intro music on game theory and film theory? I miss getting them at the beginning of every one. Also, could you look into cubones skull? It literally makes no sense how it has it's mothers skull. It's mother must have been alive with it's kid at one point. someone must have seen a cubone being born, so have they seen it skulless? Keep up the great work by the way.
